Do you have a brand name blog?
I remember the first time Ponn Sabra commented on my blog.
When I saw her name come up in my “please moderate” list I was so happy. It felt like a friend had stopped by my house to say hi. I have never met Ponn in person. We have never even exchanged emails. But I feel like I know her. (Even more so than other bloggers I interact with even fairly regularly.)
Today she asked in a post for her readers to post about their Brand Name Blog and gave a few starter topics. She asked us to share if she has helped her fellow bloggers to build a solid brand. Well, of course she has!
Why did I feel like I already knew Ponn when she commented here? Like she is a long lost friend? Because she is so good at building HER brand. I see her encouraging comments on other blogs, I run across her in the social networks and unlike some folks who use different names at every social networking site - she is Ponn Sabra everywhere.
Another suggestion she had was to share what keeps me reading her wonderful blog - EmpowerWomenNow. OK, here it is. She writes great stuff. Very informative. She links to interesting resources. Her blog design looks good. But so what? So do a zillion other bloggers who have not grabbed a piece of my heart like Ponn.
Ponn is empowering with every word. I can feel how much she wants to write every single post and how much she genuinely wants it to help the person reading it. She is committed to make her blog work no matter what - even writing posts that takes her hours to do because of her serious health issues. THAT IS EMPOWERING! Ponn is a brand and that brand say empowerment.
Ponn, thank you for everything! Hang in there.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Ohhhh Kim….if you can only “see” me now…my cheeks are aching, my back is trembling…my fingers are stiff in awe as to what I feel right now…
Kim, like–Are *You* kidding!?
Okay, now I’m crying…because well, *hard* is an understatement to my present pain right now–physically and emotionally its takin’ a BIG toll on me now too…my family are SO shocked, they are almost helpless in their advise. My friends…they’re pulling all they can just to “Physically” help me move and care for the girls…and, my Brand-Name-Blog is well–my respite.
The only place I have FULL control, yet amidst ALL my pain, but I’m just trying “to try my best”.
Your post is a testament, that “it” is all worth working for–life, my girls, my biz, my family…
I see the “plan” God set before me, and this is only a “test’ that I know I can conquer…so, thank YOU for noticing, and giving me this tribute-post!
Now–To work!
I want you right now, to amend this post, and share…why You are the “High-Tech-Mom” to be reckoned with!
I want You to link out to your “About” page…which when I 1st commented here, I had to read…so I knew you I was dealing with…ha ha
I want You to share the experiences (positive and/or negative) because you branded yourself here in the blogosphere.
Then, let me know (comment/email) when I should stop by so I can be further Empowered by You!
A BIG Virtual Hug!
Ponn
